That is the question. You find Linux had everything that you need and do not use any other OS at all. I try to switch as Linux has everything I need like word, spreadsheet, presentation, GIMP, Firefox, Live messenger etc... except for games. But I had to use Window XP for my Lexmark all in one printer. The scanner just doesn't work on any Distro. So I had to use it under Virtual Box with Window XP installed. How about you guys out there?

My machines are both Linux, but I have a virtualised XP on my desktop. It's rarely used, only to process camera film and upload to youtube (for some reason Youtube uploads rarely are successful from Linux).

Funnily enough the camera footage (.MOV format) comes from the free camera I got last year from LXF!

Yep, moved over from Windows when '98 came along. Had to retain it for a while for the camera software, don't need that now as there are plenty of Linux options. Also had a dalliance with iTunes, and another oddball bit of S/W, neither of which I use now.

We do have Windows in the house for the kids but I only get involved when they don't work!

At work we are mixed, mainly Windows workstations and 2 windows servers, but also 4 Linux servers and several Linux workstations, Mac, even one BSD. My work laptop runs XP, 7, or Ubuntu, depending on circumstances

The sig between the asterisks is so cool that only REALLY COOL people can even see it!

Switched totally in 2001. I say totally, but still got XP for games (ie Winter). So technically my dad, who is 35 years deeper in the paying tax game, who has his laptop and desktop running Ubuntu since 2008 is 100% Linux way before me.....if I ever go full fat.
